Hi Aech,

Since you didn't ask a question, I do not really know what you would like feedback on, but to talk about this image in general...

I like the subject; I am always attracted to windows and reflections. The composition is interesting; the horizontal and vertical lines create a lot of movement.

The exposure, however, I find confusing. I'm not sure why you used such a high ISO and fast shutter speed, but a very open aperture. I would like to see more depth of field in the image. Specifically, I find the out of focus nail to the left of the window frame distracting. If I have done the math correctly, an exposure of ISO 500, f/11 at 1/80 would yield the same exposure with an significant increase in DOF and still be sharp while hand-holding the camera. In fact, I don't know how good the IS is on your lens, but I think you could even use an exposure more like: ISO 320, f/16 at 1/25 (depending on the zoom) and still have a sharp image.

Overall, I think that this is a decent photo. I hope that helps you.
